Would the new 166m model work be good for jerkbaits? I know I've asked before on here and the 170m is good but not sure if the 66 model is targeted for another technique.

166m is ideal for jerk baits. I'm about 5'11 so I prefer the 66m length better. I would say this rod have no problems up to 3/4 oz weight.
Have to agree with all the positive feedback on the PU. Haha. Best investment ever.
Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
I'll have the PU162L-S later this week and that will complete my purchases of BFS rods and all that left for completion is three more Ald Mg7's.
Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
I'm becoming more interested in these rods. If you have one, where did you order it from? So far it seems like plat is the only place that has them in stock.
Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
Any Shimano dealer in Japan can get you them if you ask nicely. There may be a little wait unless you order from Plat or bass.jp (a shop that has them currently in stock).jpmoney wrote:I'm becoming more interested in these rods.

Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
For me, I only have the MB variants and those only go on MB rods. All other rods get Shimano... at this point though, I honestly like my MB and Shimano reels equally. So its not a preferance in performance, sadly its just a preferance for manufacturer matching.Jdmbassman wrote:How come there isn't any love for the new Steez SV103 ?

Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
Haha, I sold off my two Poison rods but puting a daiwa/mb reel on one just feels wrong, lol. On the other hand, putting a shimano on a megabass rod just seems so right...Love2Grabbass wrote:For me, I only have the MB variants and those only go on MB rods.

scandelous! By the way, why'd you sell your Poisons? Did you at least keep the bfs ultima?the hooligan wrote:Haha, I sold off my two Poison rods but puting a daiwa/mb reel on one just feels wrong, lol.

Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
John scooped it up. I wanted one bfs rod with a little more length and the eiger northwall is the perfect fit. I will miss the light weight and sensitivity of the Ultima though...Love2Grabbass wrote:scandelous! By the way, why'd you sell your Poisons?

If shimano/jackall ever expands the Ultima bfs lineup, I'll definitely be back. Would love a 6'6-6'8 Light

Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
I haven't tried one yet but I do own a poison glorious 172H and it's one of my favorite jig and worm rods to date. It's also a really versatile rod in my opinion you can use it for many other applications in a pinch when needed.

Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
I'm about to pull the trigger on the 166M. Is it a medium (regular) action. I saw on the video that Shimano Japan had and the guy was casting jigs. I don't want a fast or extra fast rod.
Thanks guys
Thanks guys
Re: Shimano Jackal poison Ultima - Anyone got one
I don't have it but my understanding is that it is a sensitive rod with a faster taper. The 170m is the moderate hard bait stick.
